Not too long ago, I was feeling especially battered and bruised. Sometimes all of this blending is super tough and I admit to having some really bad days. My husband (ie. the amazing and inspired one) always has something to help. Whether it is a thought, an example, a kind word or even a scripture he seems to know exactly what to say to change my day from bad to better. . On the above mentioned day, he had been reading scriptures and came upon this little beauty:
23 Now, I speak unto you concerning your families—if men will asmite you, or your families, once, and ye bbear it patiently and crevile not against them, neither seek drevenge, ye shall be erewarded;
24 But if ye bear it not patiently, it shall be accounted unto you as being ameted out as a just measure unto you.
25 And
again, if your enemy shall smite you the second time, and you revile
not against your enemy, and bear it patiently, your reward shall be an ahundred-fold.
26 And again, if he shall smite you the third time, and ye bear it apatiently, your reward shall be doubled unto you four-fold;
- Doctrine and Covenants Section 98:23-27
Ok, Ok, I can do this.... Breathe,,,,,,
Ok, Ok, I can do this.... Breathe,,,,,,
I would definitely prescribe the reading of these scriptures the next time you are feeling battered and bruised.
Catch the spirit of kindness and try to just let go of the other stuff.... Or just laugh and eat cake.. :-)

p.s. I would like to send a shout-out to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with a very wise and compassionate husband.
